CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Turnkey bbPress by WeaverTheme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection due to improper handling of untrusted input in the wvrbbp_set_to_serialized_values() function. This flaw allows authenticated attackers with administrator-level access to potentially exploit a PHP Object Injection chain, leading to arbitrary file deletion, sensitive data retrieval, or remote code execution if other vulnerable plugins or themes are present. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching or mitigating this vulnerability to protect their systems.
Original NVD Description
The Turnkey bbPress by WeaverTheme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.1 via deserialization of untrusted input in the wvrbbp_set_to_serialized_values() function (reached through the wvrbbp_save_restore() settings-restore handler). The function reads the raw contents of an administrator-uploaded file and passes them directly to unserialize() without any validation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable plugin itself; however, if a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it could allow the attacker to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code.
